GENERAL INFORMATION Patch 6: This patch corrects a problem with recording the clinic value in the VISIT file when an exam is sent to PCC. The clinic value has, and still does, record in the V RAD file. Patch 5 notes: This patch converts file 200 pointers to corresponding file 6 pointers for data transmission to PCC. The affected routines are RAZPCC and RAZPCCX. Patch 4 notes: This patch contains an enhancement to permit a site to transfer exam data to PCC when an exam is EXAMINED or its transcribed report is VERIFIED. The design of this enhancement is such that change from the normal approach of the data transmission at VERIFIED is preserved unless specifically changed, by the site, to transfer at EXAMINED. The change is made as follows: Use the option for division parameter set-up (DPS) in the system definition menu (SDEF in the supervisor menu (SUP)) to enter a yes at the prompt: SEND PCC AT EXAMINED. If later your exam procedure includes verification of reports, please set the SEND PCC AT EXAMINED prompt to NO. One effect of this enhancement is when bills for exams are produced. For example: If PCC data is set to transfer at VERIFIED and reports are not verified, 3rd party billing will not get radiology billing data through electronic means. This patch also corrects the file used to determine the requesting physician field output in the reports header label. These label can normally be seen on the worksheet. The requesting physician field is changed from file 16 to 200. Patch 3 notes: (This patch consists of no routines) This patch contains Y2K fixes. The date formats for 2 records in the LABEL PRINT FIELDS FILE (78.7) have been expanded to use 4 vs 2 numerics to represent the year. Records DATE OF BIRTH and DATE OF BIRTH (AGE yrs) have been changed to accommodate. This change should effect DOB formats defined in the FLASH CARD FORMATS file (78.2). File 78.2 contains definitions for label formats. Patch 2 notes: This patch corrects the provider pointers in the V Radiology file to point to the correct Provider file entries. The PCC link routine has been passing file 200 pointers instead of the file 6 pointers. The PCC link routine is also fixed by this patch. Additionally, this patch modifies the management reports to pause at the end of the screen when reports routed to the home device. 2. CONTENTS OF DISTRIBUTION ra__0400.06k - contains all routines for patches 1-6 and the record changes to file 78.7. ra__0400.06n - this notes file 3. REQUIREMENTS Version 4.0 of the Radiology Package 4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS This is patch uses KIDS for its installation. Please have all install output captured to either a file or printer for future reference. 1. As a precaution, please backup all routines in the RA namespace and files 79 (RADIOLOGY DIVISION) and 78.7 (LABEL PRINT FIELDS). These saved items may be needed for restore, if there is a problem with the install of this patch. 2. Use the KIDS option, LOAD A DISTRIBUTION, to install ra__0400.06k. Ex. Select Installation Option: 1 Load a Distribution Enter a Host File: ra__0400.06k 3. After the install procedure is complete, choose the, INSTALL PACKAGES, on the same menu. This will begin to install the patch's contents on your system. Ex. Select Installation Option: 6 Install Package(s) Select INSTALL NAME: RA*4.0*6 Loaded from Distribution Loaded from Distribution 05/05/00@09:43:15 => patch 6 ; add clinic to the VISIT file ;Created on May 05 2000@08:52:53 This Distribution was loaded on May 05 2000@09:43:15 with header of patch 6 ; add clinic to the VISIT file ;Created on May 05 2000@08:52:53 It consisted of the following Install(s): RA*4.0*6 4. Enter return at all the subsequent prompts. This will complete the install process IF YOU HAVE NOT INSTALLED PATCH #2 PLEASE PERFORM INSTRUCTIONS #5-#8. 5. Run ^RAZVRAD in test mode This routine will analyze files 3 and 200 and identify any entries that: do not have a DINUM entry in the other file do not have a file 16 pointer in piece 16 do not have exactly the same name in file 16 and 200 This routine will also check each provider pointer in the selected V Radiology entries to insure it can be converted from file 200 to File 6. Any errors encountered will be stored in the global ^RAZVRAD(file#, and can be checked using ^%GL. Errors found in files 3 and 200 are for information only and can be ignored for now, so long as there are no V Radiology entries that cannot be converted. 7. Run ^RAZVRAD (D ^RAZVRAD) in production mode once you have determined all V Radiology entries can be converted. 8. ZL RAZPCCX and then ZS RAZPCC Once you replace the old PCC link routine, RAZPCC, the correct file 6 pointers will be passed for new V Radiology entries. You must not replace the old routine until all existing pointers have been converted. 9. D ^%RDEL and delete RAZPCCX If you have any questions or comments regarding this patch, please contact: The IHS help Desk (506) 248-4371 Routine Information: 1. RAZWH, RAUTL1, RAXPCC, RAEDCN and RART where modified to support the PCC transmission enhancement, mentioned above. 2. RAZPCC is the PCC link routine that generates V Radiology file entries from events occurring in the Radiology package. 3. RAZPCCX is the external name of the new RAZPCC routine. This is done so this Routine can be loaded by the ^%RR of ra__0400.02p but not take effect Until the correct time. 4. RAZVRAD is the routine that scans the V Radiology file entries and changes the provider pointers in any entry after the specified date to the correct file 6 (Provider) pointer. 5. RAWKL1 is the print routine for management reports. It has been modified to pause at the end of each screen when reports are routed to the home device. 6. Routines RAZPCC and RAZPCCX were modifed to correctly convert file 200 to 6 ptrs for PCC, and to pass clinic values to PCC for input in the VISIT file.
